Seven games into the season, the Loyola men’s soccer team hasn’t had the start it would have wanted. The team is 4-4 overall and has already been shutout this season as many times as it was last season.
The team had its best season in program history in 2016, winning 14 games of the regular season and winning a NCAA tournament game for the first time. The Ramblers came into the 2017 season expecting to build off that success, hoping to get past the second round of the NCAA tournament.
The Ramblers lost valuable, experienced players to graduation, but it’s time to move on from last year and focus on the present, according to head coach Neil Jones.
